Per,

None of the following will help you much, since most of this software can not
legally be shipped outside the United States.  However, I post it here in
case there is anyone with a similar problem in the U.S.

Write to:

	Software Distribution
	EECS/ERL Industrial Liaison Program
	University of California
	Berkeley, CA  94720

and ask for their catalog "Public Domain Software".  Too much to summarize
here, most of it public domain, available for a nominal fee to cover tape
copying, postage, handling, documentation printing, etc.

If you are interested in logic synthesis tools, you may also want to write
to:
	Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
	University of Colorado at Boulder
	Campus Box 425
	Boulder, CO  80309-0425

and ask them about getting the BOLD (Boulder Optimal Logic Design)
tape.  It is supposed to run fine on Pyramid and Sun (from personal
experience, I can say that it compiles on a Sun3, but I haven't had
time to play with it yet).
